The letter W maps to which word?

The letter W maps to which word?

• A. Willow
• B. William
• C. Washington
• D. West

Answer: (B)

The main idea is understanding the spelling alphabet used for clear communications. In the version referenced here, the letter W is mapped to the word William, which is why that option is the correct choice. Willow, Washington, and West aren’t the standard code words for W in this system, so they wouldn’t reliably identify the letter in radiotelephony or written notes. (For context, other alphabets—like the modern NATO set—use Whiskey for W, but this question uses a different, older mapping where William is correct.)
